As February rolls in, Xbox Game Pass brings a fresh lineup of games for subscribers, packing a mix of genres and surprises.

Meanwhile, fans of sports games will be pleased to know that Madden NFL 25, thanks to EA Play, is also joining the roster this month.

Standard-tier subscribers have plenty to celebrate as well. Bethesda’s Starfield, alongside the intriguingly difficult Another Crab’s Treasure, are now part of the package. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s on offer in the upcoming weeks:

Though this month starts with a slightly smaller lineup, Avowed’s release is making headlines.

Keep an eye out for more scoops on February 11, along with id Software’s upcoming DOOM: The Dark Ages and others.

The addition of Starfield to the Standard tier is a pleasant surprise and may hint at shorter wait times for other first-party titles like Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 to join. Subscribers can hope for more regular updates as we move forward with these fantastic releases. Keep your systems ready for all the action February has to offer!
